WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Chemical Dependence Risk Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

addiction drug addiction

In adolescent evaluations, brief screening tools can help identify psychological characteristics associated with elevated vulnerability to substance-related problems. The Chemical Dependence Risk Assessment is a self-report questionnaire designed to estimate risk-related traits and attitudes rather than to confirm substance use or establish a diagnosis. It was developed by G. Alan Marlatt and consists of 57 items, typically completed in about 11 minutes.

Results are intended to support prevention planning and early intervention by highlighting patterns of emotional responding, beliefs, and coping tendencies that may be associated with increased susceptibility to chemical dependence. The Chemical Dependence Risk Assessment is commonly used as an initial screening measure in school or clinical settings and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other relevant assessment information.
